CHICAGO — Rambo, a drug-sniffing dog, discovered more than 23 pounds of opium at O’Hare Airport.
The opium was concealed in a variety of items: tablecloths, hats, soaked twigs, and decorative ornaments, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office in Chicago.
The drugs, which were discovered last week, were suppose to be on their way to Minneapolis, officials said.
Rambo found the drugs while working with a Customs and Border Protection officer at the airport’s foreign mail facility.
